The lack of Forms Mode in Online TurboTax would be a huge drawback for me.   At this point in time I personally haven't seen TurboTax outright state that the 2025 product won't install and work on Windows 10.   Granted, I don't see "everything."  😏   They may not even know yet since it's still in development.   The FAQ below says that they "may" restrict installation.   If they do, it's likely because they are hesitant about the lack of security updates for many people using Windows 10 (although apparently one will be able to purchase a security subscription for Win 10 from Microsoft.)     FAQ:  How does the end of support for Windows 10 affect my TurboTax Desktop experience? https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/download-products/end-support-windows-8-affect-turbotax-experience/L4v9atO3O_US_en_US

Turbo Tax and the IRS only keeps the last 7 years. If they still have it…….. How to Access prior year online returns https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/prior-year-return/help/how-do-i-access-my-prior-year-return/00/27010 If you can't get the side menus to open up to access the prior year..... You need to start entering some basic Personal Info in 2024 for the side menu to open up. Just continue a little ways into 2024. I had to go though about 12 screens. If you used the Desktop CD/Download program then the only copy is on your computer and not saved or stored online. So you need to make and keep your own backups. Or request a transcript from the IRS https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript Or get a copy of your return using form 4506 https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf

@raka1225   You already know what you get with the Desktop program.  There are many differences with the Online version.   Here are some major differences.   The Online web version is only good for one account and one return. You can log in and access your return from any computer. You only can see the forms after you pay and download the pdf. And you might need to upgrade to a higher version to enter different kinds of income. There are 3 Online versions. And you can add LIVE service or Full Service for expert help. In Online the fees are to prepare the federal and state returns (State is a separate charge) whether you efile or print and mail. Efiling is free and included.   Your return is only saved online so be sure to save both the .tax2024 data file and the pdf file to your computer when you are done.  In case you need to amend in the future or if you need a copy to get a loan or something.  You might not be able to access your online return when you need a copy.    

If you started your 2023 return in TurboTax Online but didn't file it before the extension deadline, you can finish and paper-file in TurboTax Desktop.   This link has instructions to finish a prior year return  >>  How do I finish an unfiled TurboTax return?

@raka1225 You mentioned using an iPad.   You cannot use the desktop download on an iPad or any other sort of mobile device.  The desktop software can only be used on a full PC or Mac.   If you will not have a computer that meets the system requirements to use desktop software, then your alternate way to use TurboTax is to use the online software.

Thanks Vanessa.  I haven't used the online version.  From what you're stating I would only be able to use "step by step" walk through to enter my information. Is that correct?  I like to switch back and forth because in the forms version I often find erroneous data showing up.
